Select only ONE of the following environmental stresses: (a) heat, (b) high levels of solar radiation, (c) cold, or (d) high altitude. Discuss specifically how this environmental stress negatively impacts the survival of humans by disturbing homeostasis. (5 pts) Cold climates create stress on the body that disturbs homeostasis by lowering our normal core body temperate range of 97.6 ˚- 99.6˚ to subnormal levels. When our core body temperate declines to 94 ˚, we begin to develop a condition known as hypothermia.…
In this phase, the wound is rebuilt with new granulation tissue which consists of extracellular matrix and collagen, and new blood vessels develop. The granulation tissue depends on oxygen and nutrients produced by the blood vessels for a healthy healing process of the wound. The color of the granulation tissue can determine whether or not the wound is infected or healthy (Phases of Wound Healing, par 2). Next the epithelial cells resurface the wound to create a barrier between the wound and the environment. Once epithelialization has occurred and the wound is closed, it moves into the phase known as maturation or remodeling.…
ANSWER 1 IDDM: Type 1 diabetes is a chronic disease, which starts to develop in childhood it was known as juvenile onset as well. It is a progressive destruction of autoimmune pancreatic beta cells depending upon the individuals. Genetically individuals develop islets of autoantibodies from months to years before diagnosing type 1 diabetes. Glucose level is increased as the body starts to produce low level of insulin and glucose is eliminated in the form of urine. Weight loss, frequent urination, excessive hunger and thirst are the common symptoms of type 1 diabetes.…
The skin always has a plan of attack on what is going to happen next when there is a scratch or an open wound on the epidermis or broken through the dermis. The body does not like to be open to the outside world because that is a way for bacteria to get in the scratch or wound and causes bacteria. Having stronger skin can promote wound healing with faster healing. The first plan of action to stop the bleeding from the affected area is to form a blood clot and stop the bleeding. The clot acts a temporary shield to prevent pathogens and bacteria.…
When manifestation of acute hemolytic reaction appear the nurse should immediately stop the transfusion process, maintain venous access with physiological saline, measure vital signs and call for urgent medical support, after that the nurse should rapidly inform the transfusion laboratory urgently and seek early support from critical care and hematology teams to admit the patient to an intensive care unit if possible. Also, nurse should give antihistaminic medications according to doctor order, after managing the case incident report should be done, (Napolitano et al…
The medical perfusionist field requires you to first complete perfusion training programs,which takes around four years to complete, then a four year Bachelor's degree, then trying to get accepted into the (PCP), or the Perfusion Certificate Program. Many perfusionists' goals are to pursue a certain certificate Medical Perfusionist program that best suits their needs. Nevertheless, many perfusion educational programs can also require candidates to complete a few mandatory courses in: college-level science, English, math and may also prefer other candidates with the following majors: physiology, biology, chemistry and/or anatomy versus those who do not have the experience. Some other major programs will prefer qualifying candidates to have…
Footstrike Hemolysis Footstrike hemolysis happens when red blood cells in the foot break down faster than usual. This is usually due to repeated contact between the foot and the ground. This condition often happens to long-distance runners. It can also happen to other athletes, including dancers and hikers. This condition may also be called march hemoglobinuria.…
In his play Where the Blood Mixes, Kevin Loring illuminates the origins and implications of the legacy of residential schools which remains prevalent in Indigenous communities in the twenty-first century. Loring strives not to diminish the experiences of residential school survivors, but to reconstruct how individuals in the twenty-first century view and represent survivors of residential schools. This goal is achieved through Loring’s depiction of characters that are sad, but loving and funny people with hobbies, people who are not consumed and defined by their residential school experiences but continue to feel its painful influence nonetheless. Loring presents the characters with charming yet heart wrenching humanity to illustrate…
Sepsis is a widespread infection that triggers a whole body inflammatory response. It does not arise on its own but originated from an underlining medical condition such as an infection. Some like to view sepsis as a three stage illness. In this paper I will be discussing what sepsis is, what population is most affected and some of the characteristics or signs and symptoms of the infection.…
Sepsis and What I Would Change from Current Practice Sepsis is one of the world's leading healthcare problems, which is more prevalent than cardiac arrest. The condition strikes approximately 30 million people worldwide annually. The majority of the victims either end up dying or suffering permeant health problems. The condition is still on record for claiming more lives compared to other deadly illnesses such as cancer, especially in less developed economies (Jawad, Luksic, & Rafnsson, 2012). The most shocking fact is that less than half of the population has knowledge about sepsis.…
Sepsis, which also can be called septicemia, occurs when chemicals are released in the bloodstream to fight an infection trigger inflammation throughout the body. This can cause many changes that include: damage to multiple organ systems, leading organ failure. Sepsis is a life-threatening condition where the risk of death has been reported to be even higher than that associated with the major complications of atherosclerosis, such as myocardial infarction and stroke. In all three conditions, early treatment could limit organ dysfunction and thereby improve patient’s outcome. Good pre-hospital recognition, management, and treatment can make a profound difference in a septic patient’s outcome.…
For example, trauma can cause Subdural and epidural bleeding. Bleeding are caused by varies of reasons that will be discussed later in this paper. Bleeding within the brain between inner and outer layers of tissue that covered the brain cause compression of tissue from an expanding hematoma or hematomas, and thus, result in distort and injure tissue. Also, the pressure to tissue may lead to a loss of blood supply to affected tissue with resulting infarction, and the blood released by brain hemorrhage appears to have direct toxic effects on brain tissue and vasculature. Inflammation contributes to the secondary brain injury after hemorrhage.…
1. Introduction and Literature Review 1.1 Introduction: More than 200 different species of bacteria normally live on the skin (Benbow, 2010) and an open wound provides a moist, warm and nutritious environment perfect for microbial colonisation and proliferation (Young, 2012). When one or more microorganisms multiply in the wound, local and systemic responses occur in the host, which can lead to infection and a subsequent delay in healing (Angel et al., 2011).…
Introduction A common form of athletic enhancement for athletes who compete in marathons or cycling is known as blood doping. Jeanna Bryner, Managing Editor of Live Science, states it is “an illicit method of improving athletic performance by artificially boosting the blood 's ability to bring more oxygen to muscles.” Marathonist and cyclists use this method over steroids because if there is more oxygen going into their muscles, then they are able to increase their stamina and performance. This increase allows athletes to travel long distances without becoming fatigued.…
We can define this process as when cells reach under the skin, they die. The surface raised in the form of red wounds, plaques which…
